Merger proposal
I propose to merge Neocolonial dependence into Neocolonialism. There are no sources in the former article and I fail to see why the content can't be covered in Neocolonialism. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 21:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)


 * If there's no sources, there's not much to merge. It could certainly fit here when there are sources (and even split back out in some later event). CMD (talk) 23:22, 5 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment Agree with CMD, just keep it for time being. 2001:8003:9008:1301:44D3:F319:5F79:31D7 (talk) 14:51, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

"Neocolonial" or "neo-colonial?"
This article uses both versions, seemingly interchangeably. May I (or could someone) change all instances to "neocolonial" (no hyphen) for the sake of maintaining a consistent style? Xanthos IV (talk) 21:40, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Criticism section
There are a lot of ways you could approach this and a lot of sources considered valid by wikipedia. 180.241.250.205 (talk) 01:37, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Internally inconsistent
Article credits both Kwame Nkrumah and Jean-Paul Sartre with coining the term. If this is a case of different sources saying different things, the two statements should be together and accompanied by more than the usual amount of sourcing Elinruby (talk) 10:07, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Other countries as examples
Russia and China should be mentioned and described like US is. Also Russia acts more like an old colonial empire, choosing mass murder and terror over economic influence, both its internal and foreign policies involve neocolonialism as it is described in the article. 109.87.36.102 (talk) 04:00, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

No mention of Soviet Union/Russia
there's such an extensive section on the United States. why is there no such section for the Soviet Union or continued Russian Federation 2409:40E1:27:60E5:5896:FFFC:5A9:3435 (talk) 16:35, 16 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @2409:40E1:27:60E5:5896:FFFC:5A9:3435 just wanted to add. I thought you all could have added more about China and some other countries too. their involvement in the affairs of other regions and how it plays to the dynamics of their own interests. I just felt that the article went too extensive on the details about the United States while the same could have been done for other countries too. not to take away from the section about America but same standard can be followed with the other sections too 2409:40E1:27:60E5:5896:FFFC:5A9:3435 (talk) 19:10, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

US foreign policy and the CIA
I suggest that the entire first paragraph of this section under "United States" should be removed. It is entirely about the book "The Invisible Government". And that might be relevant, except it does not cite the book in service to the topic of this section, but rather cites some professor's characterization of the thesis of the book, along with some epically awkward paraphrasing of comments by one of the authors about that book.
